When he was sober, he was a good husband and wonderful father to our two children. We separated 10 years before he died, and he moved out of state with his young mistress, "Eve," who did everything she could to damage my relationship with our daughter, "Beth.'.' She finally succeeded. Beth went to live with her father, and she and Eve became friends. At Beth's wedding. Eve appeared in almost every photo. taking · :ny place as the "bride's ·mother." (My son and I were not invited.) To my, husband's credit, it w~s his wish that I receive his insurance and pension when he died. When our son tragically died at age 23, Beth and I reconciled. I then remarried and after two years was widowed again -- which made me a wealthy woman. I have chosen to help Beth and her family financtally, and I know they are grateful. Eve is still on the scene II .years after my husband's passmg. and my 6-year-old grand-, son refers to her as Grandma. At times he blurts out that he has "three grandmas" -- his father's mother, Eve and me. _ I feel I should be at center Saturday, May 17, 2003 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis; Ohio • Point Pleasant, WV Dear Abby ADVICE sta~e without an "imposter" watting in the wings.

The person who was "disloyal" was your first husband. He left you for a younger woman. When your daughter went to live with them. she was young and impressionable and Eve befriended her. It is understandable that her child thinks he has three grandmothers. He is too y_oung to understand why. I see nothing JO gain and much to lose by trying to rule via the purse strings. Please resist the temptation. One day your grandson will realize what the facts are. Be patient and take the high road. · DEAR ABBY: "Rhonda" mr and "Errol" were married last summer. At the wedding.

Rhonda turned to me and said, "Excuse me. I was the star., "Oh," I .said. Then I smiled and remarked, "Well, you were upstaged." Later that day, Rhonda said, ''I was deeply hurt by your comment. You owe me an apology." Have you any thoughts on how I can avoid "deeply hurting" Rhond_a in the future? WONDERING IN WISCONSIN DEAR WONDERING: Absolutely.

AS POMEROY, Ohi.o "The sheriff has turned the county government upside down looking for money," Meigs County Treasurer Howard Frank said. Seeking to avoid layoffs, Meigs County Sheriff Ralph Trusell is looking for rehef from the county commissioners. Trussell believes that there is money available from investments that could be used to keep his office open. Frank said there is no money available from investment accounts to use for additional appropriations to the sheriff's department. He said that each year, the county commissioners allocate money to the departments fupded by the county through local revenue. and public money from other entities like the state. When the county commiss"ioners appropriate a budget to each department, that money cannot be touched by the commissioners or any other department If the money in these public fund accounts is not used either because of sound fiscal management by department heads or lack of need, the treasurer's office is legally allowed to invest this remaining money in temporary interest-bearing investment accounts. At People's Bank, there are at least two interest bearing notes worth $1.5 million . At Farmers Bank, there is an interest bearing note worth more than $1 .2 million . The sheriff seeks to tap into this money supply and apply these funds to avoid layoffs in his department. The treasurer said this "commingling of funds" is illegal. "You can:t do that," Frank said. "You can't use all the other. agencies' money to send into the general fund. All the county commissioners can do is appropriate tlJe interest money that is earned." Frank said county department heads would probably not appreciate Trussell using money from their accounts to fund the sheriff's .department. Trussell disal;lrees and, by analogy, descnbed a situa.tion when a family, who is facing hard times financially, has an interest bearing savings account. Trussell said that since the family n reaII y needs the money, that it has little choice but to dip into the savings account. The sheriff said this situation is similar to county government. If the . money is being used to generate interest for the general fund, then this money could also ~ used in emergencies. "If you have money to; invest in a savings account; then you could always draw. this out," Trussell said.

Evans, 64, decided to ruri for office for the first time last year because he felt there was a need for economic development and education in his district. (AP) Age no big.obstacle for .older rookie .legislators COLUMBUS , Ohio (AP) - Two rookie representatives with stacks of legislation under their arms and aides next to them citing upcoming appointments race through 12hour work days. They go from committee hearings to lobbyist meetings to ·Ohio House sessions. AS they learn the ropes of state governing, Clyde Evans . and Kathleen Chandler sound, act and work like any other first-term state lawmakers despite their ages. He's 64. She's 70. On opposite sides of the aisle - he's a Republican in the majority, she's a Democrat - the two credit their ageless attitudes with fairly easy transitions to the state level after decades of local service. They say that the obstacles they have faced ~ learning the intricacies of how a bill becomes a Jaw, trying to understand the state formula for funding schools and studying the state's economic· woes - are no different than what other novices have experienced. "Quite frankly, I never even consider age as a factor in anything I do," said Evans, a white-haired fitness buff whose ~"foot-4-inch frame and graceful stride denotes his many years playing basketball. "I don't notice myself getting older. I don't feel any different than I did when I was before coming to ,the Statehouse.

His Wife, Rosemary, a retired high school teacher of 33 years, said she was concerned initially about him 'not having· any time for their grandchildren, but that has not been a problem, They often tag along with their grandparents to events. "They're always campaigning for Pappy. They are so into it. They're just like little sponges, taking in all this informatiqn," she said. And, she said, even though her husband is home Jess than before, little else has changed in their relationship because they still make time for each other. · "We still do things together and go places to*ether was much as possible, ' she said. uwe' re a team.,, Evans laments that perhaps the most annoying change is that chores he used to do feequently now must wait. Among them, cleaning out his · gara~e and killing weeds on his etght acres of rolling coun. tryside in Rio Grande, about 80 miles from the capital. "I've worked more hours up Chandler says her age hasn't even been noted in the flfSt four months of her new job. ' "People have mistakenly thought that youth means energy," said Chandler, a petite brunette whose welcommg smile belies her studious demeanor and leaves the corners of her mouth creased when it's gone. '·'I have as much energy probably as many people younger than I am." She said she wanted to come to Columbus to continue working on education and the economy - the two issues she worked on while living in Kent, 30 miles south of Cleveland and home to Kent State University. Evans is a lifelong educator who left the No. 2 post at a university when he was elected.

None of the teachers were named in the book but one stood out. She had begun her education at Rodney 's one room school beginning in 1902 at the age of four. In 1902 Rodney had about 70 student~. We understand that about WW1 the enrollment got up to 90 at Rodney, thus making it one of the most crowded one room schools in the county. There were no seats for the older students and they had to stand at the window and use it as a desk to write their lesson~;. Students who did get a desk had to share it with two or three other scholars. · The four year old remembered that her desk was beside the old Burnside stove. During recess and lunch the stove was allowed to to die down. It would then be fired up again after recess. It turned red hot and the students · sitting too close to the'stove would would float to the ceiling, so to speak. The school did not have its own well so students took turns going to different neighbors' homes to fetch water. During dry spells, certain people would scold, "Don't you kids drink so much water!' Of course getting a scoldin!l was not as bad as what children experienced drawing water · at one nearby schooL There students had their own well but they had to put a rag in the bucket to stram out the worms. Apparently there was a lot of snow in 1902 and 1903 and she remembered walking two miles to school with snow up to her hips. Occasionally they would be brought into town to to stay at their grandma's house until the snow melted off. When she ..yas older the fouryear-old rode horseback to schooL But her father didn't think that was very ladylike so he got the kids a buggy with a yellow umbrella. She said they picked up a lot of kids along the way and most of them complained about how rough the ride was but none of them ever offered to contribute anything for the horse's feed. She told about how one winter the teacher got sick and the bigger children taught the school and surprisingly no one acted up. Most of the troublemaking kids were moved to the front of the room and the good Kids were put in the back. The lady who started to Rodney in 1902 says she was put in the back of the room at about age 5 but the desk was so large that she wrote on the seat while sitting on the floor. • She remembered that school day began with the Lord's Pmyer, a Bible reading, songs including 'America' and the 'Star Spangled Banner.' Next came recitations. These were done by class with the youngest going fliSt. The recitation seats or benches were in the front of the classroom and the students would have to go over the day's Jesson until they got it right. Students in 1902 did a lot of reading aloud. Spelling, math and geography were the next most important subjects. The school day ended at4 p.m. Lunch was at noon and recesses were held at I0:30 a.m. and 2:30p.m. Teachers in 1902 gave preferential treatment to good spellers. they l)ften got promoted in the middle of the year. Some who were promoted, later said that they should not . have been promoted just ~ause of spelling as they were still poor students in arithmetic. In 1902 the school books belonged to the students, not the school and some students worked out math problems in the book or in 'sandboxes in the classroom or on used' envelopes. In the Rodney community there were some families who would send their kids to school without tablets, pencils or even shoes. The parents just assumed that the compassiOnate teacher would buy these things for the chidlren. Many times they did. Teachers in one room schools had to improvise !llany a Christmas program with limited resources and without electricity. But in that em the activities of the one room school including prOgmms, spelling bees, socials and so forth were the most · entertaining part of community KANDY Bovee Mustang makes vests for military use shown pride in their work because they !mow what it's used for," said Kenneth Gulick, vice pres ident for manufacturing and logistics at the Elizabeth · plant.

These findings are ·maddening for a nation thil.l was assured by its leaders after 9/11 that the problem would be addressed. Director of Homeland Security Tom Ridge has the challenge of ending the turf battles among competing federal bureaucracies. He has made some progress.

In 1642, the Canadian city of Montreal was founded. . In 1804, the French Senate proclaimed Napoleon Bonaparte emperor. : In 189~. the Supreme Court endorsed separate-but-equal racial segregation with its Plessy v.

One critical breakdown exposed by the Sept. II attacks Gallia Calendar Health & Support ·.Turf wars Crackdown will target at-risk drivers If you.' re a parent, you know how difficult it can be o get your teenager to wear his/her safety belt. Caught in a lethal intersection of inexperience, risk-taking and low seatbelt use, teens are dying on our roadways at alarming rates. So, how do we get teens to buckle up when they think tragedy won't happen to them? It's simple - surround them with the strong message, '"Click It or Ticket; If you won't buckle up to save your life, then buckle up to save yourself a ticket," and back it up with a strong enforcement push which includes conducting" seatbelt checkpoints, saturation patrols and special enforcement activities. That's exactly what's going to happen ibis Memorial Day as more than 12,000 law enforcement agencies in all 50 states launch the National "Click It or Ticket Mobilization," a nationwide law enforcement effort to protect young people and others from the leading risk they face - traffic crashes. The two-week enforcement wa'(e, which runs May 19 through the Memorial Day holiday, will be supported by more than $20 million in tar- Sgt. E.B. Starcher geted state and national advertising. It is based on a proven public health model to increase belt use called "high visibility enforce- ment." · All too often we are called upon to pull fatally injured young people from cars and we'd rather write a thou· sand tickets than face one more of these tragedies. Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death among young people. At least half of those killed would be alive today if they had simply put on their seatbelt. The high visibility enforcement model of "Click It or Ticket" is based on years of research showing that for most people who don't wear seatbelts- especially young people - the possibility of receiving a ticket is a more powerful incentive than the threat of injury or death. Safety messages don't work. Enforcement messages, backed up by strong enforcement activities, do. That 's why . the West Virginia State Police is doing everything we can to get the word out to those who face the greatest risk - teens and adults. By buckling up their seatbelts, teens could save more than just money from hefty fines, they could save. their lives. High- visibility enforcement relies on periods of intense enforcement of seatbelt laws coupled with aggressive advertising and media outreach to let people know about the enforcement. For many non-seatbelt users, and especially young people, the threat of a ticket has proven to be a greater inducement to buckle up than the threat of injury or death. "We want to reach those least likely to buckle up and inost at risk to die," said Chuck Hurley, executive director of the Air Bag and Seat Belt Safety Campaign. "This mobilization is designed to get the enforcement message out to young people in the TV and radio shows they watch and listen to, the sites they visit on the Internet and even in their classrooms." The mobilization is conducted twice yearly by the Air Bag and Seat Belt Safety Campaign of the National Safety Council in conjunction with law enforcement agencies, state highway safety offices, NHTSA and the NTSB. The mobilization is also part of Buckle . Up America, on ongoing NHTSA intiiative to increase ~It use and t~ave lives. This year, approximately 8,000 Americans - adults and children - will die in crashes because they failed to buckle their seatbelts. Traffic fatalities, espcially among teens .and young adults, are an ongoinl? tragedy we must do somethmg about, and that is 'why the West Virginia State Police have joined this effort . . West Virginia State Police participate in the mobilizations because they work. The U.S. Department of Tmnsportation (DOT) reponed recently that child fatalities from traffic crashes have declined by 20 percent since 1997, when the mobilizations began. The DOT has credited the mobilizations for significantly contributing to this decline and for dramatically increasing child restraint use. Dave Barry a work of art consisting of: a garbage bag. • Really. The work is titled "Rubbish Bag," and to judge from the photograph in the Tiines, it is a standard black plastic garbage bag, just like the ones you put your garbage in, ex.cept of course that you have to pay people to haul your garbage bags away, whereas Ms. Floyer got $47,000 for hers. There is a compelling reason for this: Ms. Floyer 's bag is empt~. That's what makes it artisttc. Ms. Floyer is quoted by the Times as follows: · "It's not a bag of rubbish. it's a rubbish bag. The mediurn is clearly portrayed: It says it is a bag, air, and a twisted top."· Got that? It's NOT a bag of rubbish: It's a rubbish bag! If THAT'S not $47,000 worth of innovation, then I don 't know what is. The Times states that "Royer's sculpture is . displayed by a doorway; the Intention is that the viewer wonders w.hether it is full of air or rubbish." Actually, what it makes me wonder is whether the folks writing checks at the Paul Hamlyn Foundation have been smoking crack. If so, they apparently have been sharing the pipe with the folks at Bedford Creative Arts. This is a group that hands out taxpayer money to artists committing works of public art in Bedford, a town m the · county of Bedfordshire (which also contains the town s of · Bif?gleswade, Flit wick and Letghton Buzzard). · An alen reader named Jane Weaver sent me an article from the London Daily Express stating that Bedford Creative Arts decided to pay a performance artist named Andre Stitt 12.200 pounds (about $19,000,) to, among other innovative things, kick an empty takeout-curry carton through the center of town. In case you ' re wondering why that would be artistic, the answer, as far as I can tell, is that Stitt was going to wear silv~r platform boots. Tragically, this work of art had to be canceled. It got a lot of media attention, and Bedford art offi€ials were afraid that too many people would show up to watch. Don't you just HATE it when the public shows up to watch public art, paid for by the public? But don't worry! Mr. Stitt still got his 12,200 pounds, because he al so performed Monday, May 19 RAC INE -Racine Village GALt.IPOt.I S - Military Council will meet in recessed Fam ilies ,S upport Grou p session 7 p.m. at the munici· meets 7: 30 p.m . . every pal bu ilding .

The events of last July nearly ruined his career, risking his corporate sponsorships and mismg questions about whether he was fit to drive. Fortunately for Unser, Kelley worked tirelessly to make sure the support was there. Kelley believed in giving Unser a second chance an.d persuaded sponsors to do the same. Eventually, the domestic battery charges were dropped. "When someone says they' re sorry and they're sincere about it, I like to give them a second chance," Kelley said. "He knows he won't get a third chance." Unser responded by entering rehab. When he returned to the track la~t August at Kentucky, he was contrite. Kelley said he never saw Unser's drinking affect his driving or his race-day preparation, never smelled alcohol on Unser's breath, and never realized the depth of the problem until the two talked after the arrest.

BY NOAH TRISlER Septuagenarian woman stays fit with football Orlando Starz' Charlotte Chambers , (5) runs onto the field at Dr. Phillip's High School May 10, 2003, in Orlando, Fla. during her introduction before their game against the Tampa Bay Terminators. Below, she cheers her team on. (AP) BY MIKE BRANOM Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. Charlotte Chambers' application stuck out among the dozens from hopefuls who tried out for Orlando's fledgling Independent Women's Football League team. I In the space for date of birth, Chambers wrote "1932." Surely that must be a mistake, Orlando Starz CEO Marsha Beatty thought. But it was no error, as the teammates of the retired teacher known as "Miss Charlotte" soon found out. . "Sports has always been my thint."" Chambers said last week, two seasons into her playing career as Orlando's reserve 'safety. "But growing up, you would never think of a woman playing tackle foptball because that's the way society was ge;~red . " Chambers, who is indeed 70, used to get her football kicks through her devotion to the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Warren Sapp. Now she has a chance to lace up tbe pads and butt helmets with }\'omen less than half her age. And if tliose opponents don't want to hit her out of respect for their elders, the great-grandmother of four isn't about to play nice. "I say, 'You better hit me, because I'm laying you out,"' Chambers said. . Added Beatty: "Last year, I thought I should tell the other teams to go easy and not hit her too hard. But now I'm afraid she's going to hurt some body. When she puts on her uniform, all this aggresswn comes from somewhere. . : "Charlotte's ready to hurt somebody- she use s the word 'death."' The Independent Women's Football League, founded in 2000, is one of at least four full-contact women's leagues currently operating. It has 21 teams across America and Canada. : Chambers isn't big. measuring 5foot-4 and 140 pounds with a low center of gravity. But she has a quick gait, thanks to daily 5-mile walks and aerobics, plus football practice twice a week. "I'm in this for the fun and exercise," she said. An athlete dating back to her days in high school basketball ("! had a mean left hook shot"), Chambers is a firm believer in a use-it-or-lose-it philosophy when it comes to fitness. "You have to work for it!" Chambers shouted after a game. "You have to· earn it! You have to earn it 1 You have to earn it'" To be honest, ' Chambers doesn't see much action for the winless Starz. During Orlando's 20-14loss to the Tampa Bay Terminators last week, she was oo the field for only four plays during a goal-line stand. I She never saw contact, aside from falling on a pile when a run ended short of a touchdown. . But on-field play is not the point of "'Chambers ' inclusion on the roster, her teammates say. "She's our .Rudy," linebacker Mona Mitzenius said, comparing Chambers to Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger Jr. , the undersized yet scrappy Notre Dame football player whose life became a movie after playing 27 seconds during a two-season career. "How can you complain when Miss Charlotte's running the hills with you?" Chambers also is the team's spiritual leader, befitting a woman who has taken her faith seriously enough to attend Hartford (Co nn .) Seminary: Before and after games, she leads the players in prayer for health and strength. · With the word spread in!~ about Chambers' accomplishments , she 's turning into a celebrity. At Orlando's last game, crews from two Japanese TV stations hung on her every word, from the pregame pep talk to a postgame cheer. Later this week, she's flying to New York for appearances on "The Early Show" and "The Late Show with David Letterman." Chambers is mobbed by fans young and old. Following a loss in Miami two weeks ago, the throng of well.-wishers grew so thick. Beatty said, people were reacting as if "she was a superstar, like one of the N'Sync boys or somethi ng. " Although the league could use all the attention she's bringing in, Chambers insists she is not a publicity stunt. "Listen, I'm two years into this, right?" an intense Chambers asked a reporter. "Last year, nobody said squat." · Chambers wrapped up last Saturday's game by reminding everyone of who they are and why they were there. The players took a knee at midfield of the high school stadiurn and gave Miss Charlotte their undivided attention. . With a raspy shout that carried the length of a long bomb downfield, Chambers said, "When I say 'women,' yo\1 say 'football. ' "Women!" . "Football!" four dozen sweaty warriors replied. . · "Women!"

Rudd and his team head lrto the second. third of the season expecting to start making noise. (AP) Rudd, Wood Bros fE!el they're getting closer to Victory Lane BY HANK KURZ, JR. Press ~ssociatect Ricky Rudd knew success wouldn't come right away when he joined Wood Brothers Racing after three years with Robert Yates. His new team, after all, had won one race in the past nine seasons, and that victory in 2002 was more than a little flu key. · But in what could become a perfect marriage between a veteran driver with hrgh expectations and a team richer in history than it is in recent results, Rudd and his team will head into the second third of the season expecting to start making noise. The last six race results might look a whole lot better if Rudd hadn't qualified poorly at Talladega and found himself in the middle of a 27 -car accident, and if late-race mishaps hadn't derailed likely top-! 0 runs at Martinsville and Richmond. Instead of the top I0 in points, where he finished in each of the last three seasons driving for Yates, Rudd is 22nd &fter II of 36 Winston Cup events as the series heads to Lowe'e Motor Speedway. Rudd has never won at Charlotte, N.C., in 53 starts. ; :But he sees signs that his fortunes are ijnproving . i "Realistically, you take that fourth Qlace at Bristol, which was a good run, and a decent run at Martinsville," he said, laying out a model of progression. : "First you •ve got to be logging top- I0 finishes on a regular basis. Then you go ' from the top I Os into the top fives, and then you can seriously talk about winning." Bristol counts so far as the only top- 10 finish for the famed No. 21 Ford, but Rudd was running seventh when he spun late at Martinsville and wound up II th. He also was running in the top I0 at Richmond when he got nudged in the slick third turn and crashed 15 laps from the finish. Quickly, a strong run became a 34th-place finish. o;We're getting there. We Jusi need to step up the pace a little bit,' said Rudd, a Chesapeake, Va., native with 23 career victories in NASCAR's premier series. It is expectations like those, and the Wood Brothers' decision to hire a proven winner instead of a promising youngster in the offseason, that caused the Stuart, Va.-based team to seek more ·financial backing over the winter, and to start spending it. First, sponsors Motorcraft and Ford increased their commitment. Then the Woods did, hiring an engineer to augment help they get from Jack Roush's stable of wizards. The early season also has been a time for developing chemistry. Rudd brought most of his team with him when he joined Yates, but had an all-new group this year. "We're working a little bit better together," Rudd said. "(Crew chiet) Pat Tryson is starting to learn me a little bit, and I'm learning them and learning the race cars. · "I think it's going to continue to get a little bit better as we go along. I don't WINSTON think any of us anticipated we would have been, performancewise, as far off as we were when we started, so we've made big gains. But · we're still not where we need to be. " Rudd was among the last of the single-oar owner-drivers. He won races in each of his six years wearing both hats, so he brings a unique perspective to the Wood Brothers, who some have viewed as a casualty of the escalating cost of racing. Co-owner Eddie Wood appreciates Rudd's background. "He really fits well here," Wood said. "He's had his own team, so· been there, done that. He's used to having some engineers around. So far, it's working pretty well. We don't have a lot to show for it yet, but we' re pretty close." The Wood Brothers ' last of 97 victories came in 2001 at Bristol, essentially when Elliott Sadler stayed out during pit stops to preserve track position and showed all Winston Cup teams that a new Goodyear tire was far more durable than anyone knew. . Rudd now likes to think about pushing the team closer to I 00 wins. "I think the proof's in the pudding and we've got to go out there and post sqme wins, post some top-fives and do that on a regular basis to be able to sit back and say, 'Yeah, we' re enjoying this,"' he said: "Ri~ht now, I don't care wher~ you • are m this garage area - If you're not running up to your expectations or the public's e)lpectations, II can get pretty frustrating . It's nothing a good win wouldn' i fix." BY MATT MARKEY Associated Press Wks. in Points top 10 1,619 10 2. Dale Earnhardt Jr. 1,599 8 3. Kurt Busch 1,452 10 4. Jeff Gordon 1,441 7 5.

OAK HARBOR, Ohio - The tiniest twitch in the grass on a ditch bank 150 yards away prompts an immediate reaction from ·a lone sentry perched atop a power pole next to the Ohio Turnpike. As an oblivious blur of traflic whirs past, the head of the .large bird makes a sharp 90-degree rotation, and the eyes scan back and forth. A minute later, a second movement is detected in the dry tangle of thatch and meadow grass, and this serves to intensify the focus from above. When the field mouse momentarily emerges from deep in the vegetation in its search for food, the eyes from the sky burst into a silent but soon deadly flight and descend in a precise arc toward the target area. Three seconds later, life at the bottom of the food chain ends for the mouse as it is crushed by the powerful talons of one of Ohio's most eflicient hunters. The redtailed hawk has been excelling at aerial attacks like this for generations. The red-tailed hawk is Ohio's most common raptor and is found in all 88 counties in the state. It has made a magnificent comeback since it was imperiled. in the middle of the last century by the same pesticides that threatened the bald eagle population, and before that by archaic hawk bounties intended to keep the large birds from preying on farm animals. · Today, these hawks are frequently spot· ted along highways and country roads, and exhibit a preference for 'the highest perches offered by utility towers and the tallest trees. although they will also hunt from the branches of smaller trees and from atop fence posts. Red-tailed hawks are also comfortable living literally next door to man.

"Everyone here enjoys the challenge of electronics and thi s club gives us an oppar: tunity to get together, make friends, and do what ,Y/e love to do," he said. Despite the slow growth of amateur radio over the past several' years~ Carter said recent events have, in fact, increased its popularity. "Following Sept. II , officials realized the importance of a n organized backup communication s link that could be called into action if the usual co mmunication links became overloaded or disrupted," said · Carter. "I believe amateur radio also played a key role in the recovery of debris from the space shuttle Columbia after it exploded over .Texas in February," he added. On a local level, Carter said the radio club helped with providing communications between law . enforcement and power company workers following February's intense ice storm, which left many Gallia and Mason county households without electricity and/or telephone service. "The ice storm gave us a chance to really utilize our ski lls during an actual emergency situation," he said. To further hone their skills, the radio club will be participating in an Amateur Radio Field Day on June 28-29 at the Church of God recreation area. located at 327 LeGrande Blvd. near Ohio Route 141. "The field day is just a fun get-together where participants can operate their equipment from a remote location in simulated . emergency conditions," said · Carter. The Mid-Ohio Valley Amateur Radio Club meets at 8.a.m. the first Saturday of each month in the basement of the Gallia County 911 Center on Ohio Route \60.

According to Gail Hodges, Club trustee, members use radio transmitters and receivers to communicate with other amateur radio operators. either locally or around the world. "We have a very diverse and interesting membership within our own particular club," Hodges said. "Along with several newcomers to amateur radio, the club consists of a number of ex,military · personnel who have a wide range of experience in electronics." '.'There are a couple of "brass pounders" who are well-versed in Marse code, an individual who flew B-24s in World War II and a man who landed jets on aircraft carriers," he added. Amateur radio operators are often called "ham" radio operators, or just "hams ," an archaic title most operators are trying to get away from. "Nowadays, most club members prefer to be called amateur radio operators instead of 'hams.'

Sunday, May 18, 2003 North Carolina pastry chef savors sweet James Beard win NEW YORK (AP) - Karen Barker's sweet tooth shows, and not only in the kind of widemouth grin she displayed earlier this month when the 1ames Beard Foundation named her the nation's top pastry chef. It's also there in the confections she serves up at the Magnolia Grill in Durham, · N.C., . where her own fondness for dessert is more than noticeable. The dessert menu at the restaurant that she co-'owns with Ben Barker, her husband of 21 years, changes every few weeks to take advantage of both local, seasonal ingredients and the enthusiasm ofKaren Barker and her two-person pastry staff. Since she's now a good Southerner (though she was raised in Brooklyn}, Barker uses a lot of molasses, cornmeal and bourbon in her confections. Recent offerings at Magnolia Grill include a buttennilk-vanilla bean tart with berries and whipped cream; sweetened goat-cheese crepes with sundried blueberry sauce and honey cream; milk-chocolate malt and peanut-butter blondie ice cream cake; and a flourless chocolate pecan brownie with roasted banana tee cream. Those recipes come from books and magazines, her attempts to recreate fabulous desserts she's had at other restaurants and childhood memories. The cake, she explains, is a tribute to the very moist chocolate layer cake with a chocolate pudding filling and a chocolate cookie-crumb exterior from the now-defunct Ebinger's Bakery ' It's easier to learn the best that Barker, and everyone else Combine the flour, cornstarch in her neighborhood, gobbled baking techniques by just jump- and cornmeal and add to the up in the 1960s. ing in than studying book after creamed butter in three addiThe best part of the cake, book, according . to Barker, tions.

Mountains about 75 miles east of Pittsburgh. It was a steelmaking center. Outside of town was the private re'sort, The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, for Pittsburgh's wealthy industrialists, such as Andrew Carnegie. Andrew Mellon and Henry Clay Frick. An earthwork dam held back . the waters of Lake Connemaugh; conta1mng some 20 million tons of water jn a lake created for the plea-· sure of the members of t)le club. Rain had fallen for several days and leaks in the dam were observed. On Memorial Day weekend of 1889, the dam broke, sending a wall of ~ater as much as seventy feet jligh. crashing down on the town of Johnstown, washing away everything in its path. In minutes, over 2,000 lives were lost. Tons of debris piled high at the Pennsylvania Railroad 's massive stone bridge. The debris caught fire. adding to the carnage.The survivors were filled with outrage that this had been allowed to happen. The flood became one of the greatest disasters in American History. While my husband was working in the area, I visited the site of the dam. It is now a public historic site, but there is little to see. We also visited Beverly Gettles COLUMNIST Johnstown and took the rickety old incline up the steep mountain to see the small city stretching out below. The little city of Johnstown, population 28.000 has again fallen on hard times with the loss of the · steel industry. There were acres of empty steel mills and at nighta single li(!;ht burning in one of the buildongs. There are two excellent books on the subject of the Johnstown flood at Bossard Memorial Library. David McCullough , ·that accurate and meticulous historian. has written a chronicle entitled simply, 'The Johnstown Flood.' His research includes lettersm diaries and interviews with fiving survivors (the book was copyrighted in !968), along with numerous records which include a private investigation by the Pennslylvania Railroad into the tragedy. A recent fictionalized version is of a bittersweet romance with the backdrop of the flood entitled 'In sunlight, in a beau.tiful garden,' by Kathleen Cambor. Like 'Titanic,' the reader knowsat the bc;ginning that this love Is ill-fated . The book follows ·the lives of several people in the town and tells how lives were lost and forever changed by the terrible catastrophe. ·Publisher's Weekly' said this book is, 'diamond sharp, deep and passionate. This is an accomplished, moving work.' If you like historical novel s. I think you will enjoy this one. .The author contrasts the lives of the wealthy who come by Pullman cars to the lake without giving much thought to the people living in the small mountain town nearby. The South Fork Fishing and . Hunting Club created a need for stable boys and maids and . kitchen workers, so there was some contact between the sportsmen and the locals. The citizens of Johnstown . and. the other small towns feared the dam. Attempts were niade to reinforce it. The hills surrounding Johnstown are steep and high and rise like walls. Climbing them is difficult. The unique 'geography, the presence of an unusually rainy May, the wanton disregard of the wealthy for the people in t,he valley,. all contributed to this 'te~rible tragedy. Both of th~se books are fascinating . reading, whether you prefer the true story or one spiced with romance, but with .the essential facts intact.

Resources Agenr, Ohio State University Extension. NEW MAR~ET, Va. (AP) - Gardeners subscribing to that old refrain about being able to talk about the weather but not being able do anything about it might profit by meeting meteorologist Bill Blackmore. He contends you can do something about the weather in ways that will save you money, stretch your growing season and mfluence the way the wind whips around your window . bol~W> . . You simply need to be weather wise. "Farmers and nurserymen for centuries have been reading nature for clues about the weather," says Blackmore, with the headquaners o'ffice of the National Weather Service in Silver Springs, Md. "They understood what might be coming because of certain changes in the clouds and shifts in the wind. "This is how they survived," he says. "Working with the weather gave them an edge." People then, as now, may have learned the hard way to pay attention to the first and last frost dates in their areas and what they might expect in annual ramfall. The U.S. Depanment of Agriculture in recent years has developed .a map delineating plant hardiness zones. Select plants appropriate for your region. You won't need a digital weather station to succeed as a gardener, but you might want at least a few weather instruments in your inventory. One - a rain gauge can be had din cheap. " You probably should use more than one · rain gauge if you're trying to monitor different growing situations," says Blackmore, himself an avid gardener, "Vegetable gardens, for example, usually are laid out m sunny locations. Shade gardens are protected by clusters of trees with leaves 'that tend to channel a lot of the rain away. In those cases, one . (rain gauge) won't serve all." Shave some costs by making your own ratn gauge from an open can or cylinder, Blackmore says. "Just stick a ruler in it and place it out in the open," he says. "Paint the can a dark green if you're concerned about aesthet. ics ." Using a rain gauge tells you when to water and when not tn. If you recorded, say, an inch of rain overnight, then leave your hoses coiled. That will save you tjme as well as money. "Qo the math," Blackmore says. "If you've got 5,000 square feet (in turf grass) and you don't have to water, that adds up. It also doesn't drain the environment." Another weather instrument in every gardener's collection should be athermometer, Blackmore says. If you . have a greenhouse with seedlings sprouting from a lower shelf, you may want to position your thermometer near ground level. "Place it at any height of interest in your garden," he says. "It can be used to monitor heat or wllrn of killing frosts." Gardeners are crowding their nearest nurseries about now. spending hundreds of dollars apiece for young blooms and vegetables. But this is still a chancy time of year. Most growing things are tender and can be damaged by a lingering chill. "A clear sky. and calm winds combined with a low dew point can tell you you've got a frost coming on,: and that you should protect those new plants," Blackmore says. "Especially if temps around sunset are ·in the 40s or lower. "Look to what the weat()er is telling you about getting your plants under . cover, mulching theqt or watering them . Water holds heat. If you let plants go dry and a frost hits, it may do even more damage." Study how the sun, wind and shade impact your property and consider making a few climate- appropriate changes. Some well-placed landscape modifications can help your .flowers blool!l longer, produce healthi6r vegetables and fruit and make for a more attractive yard. Gardening aside, manag. ing your microclimate can help weed out high energy .costs. Carefully · positioned trees can save up to 25 percent of a typical household 's power consumption for . heating and cooling, federal officials say. Computer models created by the U.S. Department of Energy predict the proper placement of only three trees can save an average household between $100 and $250 in energy costs per year. A study in South Dakota determined that windbreaks to the north, west and south side of your , house can cut fuel consumption by an average of 40 percent , the Energy Department says. " Prolong your growing seasons by modifying your immediate environment," Blackmore says. " Adding a few trees or shrubs can buffer the wind flow and ·keep cold air (which is heavier) from pooling up . around your yard. "Likewise, certain plants like sun, so placing them in warmer ~oi I near the south side of your house can give them a boost early in the (growing) season." Ignore the weather at your peril, Blackmore says. "Gardeners are outdoors l! lot and dozens of people .are killed each year by lightning," he says. "It only costs a few dollars to buy a.weather radio so you can head for shelter if ·some thunderstorms . are rolling in."

Sure ·enough. the extended familv room and covered porch were seve ral feet too close to the rear property line. The offending portion of the home would have to come down. Keller recalls running to the city office to plead his case to officoals who approved hts· plan in the first place. Their ruler came out, too. They confirm ed what the inspectoralready knew . Nearly 500 square feet of. weeks-old building materials, would need to be razed. The first round of approvals had si mply overlooked the mandated space requtrement. As Keller soon learned. a requirement is a requirement no matter who is at fault. The final arbiter in this case was the city inspector who ~as just domg his job.

The city official who revi ewed the plans had seen this design before . but didn ' t notice the amendment. Keller and his contractor probably sl10uld have specifically mentioned the alteration.

Freeda asks: I live in a town house that ha s a wall that I share with ITI)' neighbor next door. Can I inject blown insulation into the wall space between our dwellings to reduce noise from one space to the other? I am very happy in my town house and enjoy my neighbors. but I would like to ·hear less of them at lime s and I am sure that they feel the same. Any suggestions? A. We appreciate your need for privacy . Standby. relief is on the way. Injecting blown insulation into the wall space between the dwellings is an excellent idea. Unfortunately. while it is one of the least disruptive and most inexpenst ve nieans of dealing with this· problem. it also happen s to be one of the least effective. It is, nonetheless, the point at which to begin since any solution we recommend would include this as the first step. The most effective way to deal with this problem is to increase the den sity of the space between the dwellings. There arc several wavs in which thi s can be done: · The first is by installing decorative wall panels. which arc engineered to absorb nois e. One of the maj or manufacturers of these products is the Homnsote Corporation. Tl1eir panels come in a variety of finishes from cork to gra ss cloth and wi II meet vi!tually any decorating need. Another way to diminish the transfer of noise is to install one or two layers of 518-. inch gypsum wallboard over · re si lient mounting channel · 1hat is attached to the existing · wall horizontally : on 24-inch centers. The res oloent channel will provid e air space between the layers of wallboard and le ssen the amount of · noise transferred through vi- . brat ion . Where noise is a real prob- · lem, a new and separate party · wall can be constructed that i~corpora tes ai~ space, insula- to on · and multo pi e layers of gypsum wallboard . The disad- . vantage here is that it is quite ; an undertaking and. depending upon the space. can be . quite costly. It can also make what is already a small room even smaller. Astrograph . Monday.
